Profile:
India's first Test wicketkeeper, JG Navle, put in a courtly display
behind the sticks on the 1932 tour of England, Cardus being impressed
by his "polished, quicksilver" work. According to Christopher Martin
Jenkins' Who's Who of Test Cricketers, Jack Hobbs rated Navle in the
same league as George Duckworth and Bert Oldfield, which is high
praise indeed. Forty one dismissals came his way on that trip, only
one of them (Douglas Jardine) in the one-off Test at Lord's. He also
doubled up as opening batsman, and faced the historic first delivery
of India's first Test innings from Bill Bowes.
Navle's only other Test appearance was at Bombay in 1933-34 after
which he was dropped at the age of 31 to accommodate a younger man.
Making his first class debut in the Quadrangular at the age of 16,
Navle kept wickets for Hindus for 16 straight years. He also played
unofficial Tests against Arthur Gilligan's team in 1926-27 and Jack
Ryder's team nine years later. (Sankhya Krishnan)
